Review: Just Mercy

By Jaskee Hickman

Michael B. Jordan stars in Warner Bros. Pictures' JUST MERCY along with Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson

Most of us probably don’t know Bryan Stevenson, Walter McMillian, or the unfortunate set of circumstances that brought them together.

This time Rocky isn’t the focal point, but he plays an important role in a film that I somehow see as …

(L-r) Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan, Mile Teller and Kate Mara star in 20th Century Fox's "Fantastic Four"

Before its official release, Fantastic Four wasn’t something that gave hope to anyone who wanted to see the franchise make its way back into movie theaters. There was virtually no buzz, there was allegedly an enormous amount of drama going on behind the scenes and not even the actors had seen the actual film yet. If that’s any indication of …
